• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Before I go into the details of this Bill, it is one of the most controversial and important Bills on the land laws. It is unfortunate that we are hardly a dozen or a group of less than 14 or 15 Members. I am sure our colleagues are busy in their constituencies serving the nation. This is a Bill that I expect Members to get on the HANSARD and give due diligence. As you are aware, legislation relating to land was enacted by Parliament as required under Article 261(1) of the Constitution. Having done that under Section 15 of the ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: on the minimum and maximum land acreage then, a framework and a proscription of how to review it is provided for in Clauses 108 and 109. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Along that line, under Section 159 of the Land Act, 2012, which we did in the 10th Parliament, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development was under obligation and required to commission a scientific study. This was to do a determination of the economic viability of what we call minimum and maximum acreage of land in respect of private land for various land zones in the country. This is where I earlier said it is a very important piece of legislation because this House has to make a determination on what is maximum or minimum acreage of ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to request Members to support this Bill, so that we can have a harmonised legal framework that will facilitate proper management of land in an efficient, less costly manner and less time consuming. Land is a key resource in our country. We will also eliminate difficulties experienced by our citizens in the implementation of the various Acts like the Land Registration Act, the NLC Act and the Land Act which has been occasioned by inconsistency and overlap of the mandate. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There are certain sections of our country where land is plenty and you can talk about ownership of maximum acreage. There are other sections where the minimum is what only exists. For example, in Kisii, you cannot talk of maximum, you can only talk of the minimum. This House must speak to that. There are parts of this country where you can still own thousands of acres of land. This piece of legislation is very fundamental. I hope in the next two House sessions, we will not rush it. We want people to debate it, so that we make a ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Sakuda, myself and those who were with me in the last Parliament should take the blame today because when we were enacting this law in a rush in the last Parliament, all these inconsistencies and lack of clarity created bad blood and overlap of the mandates between the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development and the NLC. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I have said all that I could and I am sure my colleagues will say more. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I beg to move and ask the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands of this august House, the Member for Kajiado West and a man of God, to second. In 2007 when he was campaigning, he was holding the Bible on one hand and the Maasai rungu on the other hand. I used to tell him that we will see. He was competing against my good friend, the former Minister for National Security, the late George Saitoti. I told him one day that he was a lucky man because he was carrying two powerful objects, namely, the Bible and ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I beg to move and ask him to second. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to congratulate the Committee and, indeed, this House for passing this very important piece of legislation. Many Kenyans across the country who unfortunately do not have the privilege to pay for their legal fees often suffer. They get neglected and are unable to seek even their constitutional rights because of the inability to finance legal costs for many issues that need to be argued out in courts of law. This particular Bill coming into existence will make Kenyans, for the first time, live the true spirit of the new Constitution where access ... view
